Immerse yourself in the rich and expanding culture of yoga by joining Renegade Yoga Institute’s (RYI) featured Registered Yoga Teacher Training. Get to know your mind, emotions, and body better, take your personal practice to the next level, and learn the skills required to lead others into their own exploration of yoga. Our training will build a solid foundation of this ancient art and science designed to unlock the untapped potential of both body and mind.

RYI’s teacher training is not your ordinary yoga teacher training program! Our training is unique as not only do we offer the typical studio training, but we take it to the next level by diving deep into yoga’s subtle internal dynamics, hands-on adjusting/assisting, and Vinyasa Krama sequencing based on the knowledge, experience and expert adjustment and posture sequencing of Philip Clift, LMT, E-500 RYT, YACEP.

No other studio in Knoxville offers this level of training and expertise. With over 30 years of daily hands-on experience, Philip has enjoyed a lifelong passion for unlocking and optimizing human potential. RYI’s training is a culmination of 30 years of work & study that Philip now shares with the next generation of practitioners and teachers. Even if your yoga path doesn’t include teaching or hands-on adjustments/assists for students, the knowledge and skill acquired can be used in your personal practice for a more comprehensive understanding of subtle energy dynamics and a deepening of body/mind awareness.

In addition to this unique hands-on experience, our training offers many other aspects of yoga not found in most other programs.
